Jimminey yikes ... all this talk about reloading the 40 S&W! I shoot (and reload for) a couple of P229s and a P226. Good gosh ... never had a single problem in thousands of rounds other than some light primer strikes after 1000 or so rounds through the same pistol in a single day ... without a cleaning.
Based upon what I have read here, I must be leading a charmed life or something. Good grief.
You definitely have to be careful, and stick to the rules, when reloading anything for any caliber/cartridge ... but imho, the 40 S&W is no different nor is it inherently more dangerous and certainly it is not more difficult to roll. .357 SIG is by far my biggest pain in the arse (not counting some rifle stuff when I get anal about a match) - but even it (357 SIG) is not overly difficult imho.
Why is it that this thread may be giving the impression, especially to potential newbie reloaders, to stay away from 40 S&W?
Someone actually made a better case for staying away from Glocks ... but even that is extreme imho (althought completely understandable to some of us.). Some newbies-to-shooting might misintepret the gist of this thread, so let's be clear.
If you chose 40 S&W as your carry caliber, you ARE NOT going to be more prone to:
1) Catastrophic Failiures
2) Undue overpressures
3) Split, cracked or otherwise the quickening of wear, or the lessening of the life of your brass.
4) It is not more difficult to reload 40 S&W
5) It is not more dangerous to reload 40 S&W
